There is no dedicated or paid parking at the venue, and heavy traffic restrictions will be in effect throughout the area. Visitors are strongly encouraged to use public transportation or the special direct bus service operating between Tenjin and Teruha.

What happens if it rains on the day of the fireworks display?

The festival is designed to proceed rain or shine under normal conditions, so the event will not be postponed to a later date. However, in the case of severe weather or dangerous conditions, the festival will be canceled entirely without a makeup date.
